Hello!

Well, the holiday is over and I have some great cards to share with you.....

  These cards were made using the lovely Stampin' Up  "Open Sea" stamps and the combination of Chocolate Chip and Cherry Cobbler seems to work out just right.

We all particularly like the Curly Cute greeting stamps, they are so versatile and  look really classy!















The same evening we used the Stampin'Up ornament bundle with Baja Breeze cardstock , tempting turquoise ink and a bit of glitter thrown in.  It was surprising to see all the different effects that we achieved.  Some are shown here.......

 We also found time to make a large 'milk carton' using paper from the paper stacks...they turned out rather well.      
                             

   

I hope you have enjoyed looking at some of the cards we made early in November.  If you would like to order any of the materials used or come along to one of our classes, please email me.  Details of the classes are on the classes page.

Here are photos of some of the cards made at Ginny's classes in Market Rasen.  She always comes up with lovely ideas.

Some more cards to show you next Sunday.  Don't forget to email me if there is something you would like.

Happy crafting.  Mandyx         mandy.murphy1396@gmail.com

Not a Stampin'Up Week !!

This week at our Christmas class people brought stamps and embossing folders to experiment with....long time since I used "peel offs" and I won't be doing so again for a long time!!!  Still we had a very pleasant afternoon.

These are Shirley's cards...............

....and these are Val's.

Am off on holiday this week and leaving Emily to hold the fort .  Hopefully I will have some ideas to share with you on the 9th December.  In the meantime have a great time.  Mandyx

What happened to Sunday???

Tut! Tut! What happened to Sunday?  Can't even remember what I did yesterday, but it wasn't the blog!  Maybe I was getting over the journey to the NEC and the exhausting day looking at all those ideas and products.  Good to see the boys from Crafty Hands, they tell me they are coming over to Lincolnshire in the New Year...their classes are always a load of fun.

Here are the cards we made in class this week....

I love the colour scheme here, Whisper White and Always Artichoke, and the embossed background was very effective.

The cut out ornament was really silver! 

And this one was gold!

And finally we had a go with another embossing folder and a different colour scheme...turned out rather well.

Our third Christmas workshop tomorrow, the weeks are beginning to fly past.  Dunholme Gift and Craft Fair on Saturday...so lots to do.

Do come along if you are in the area, there will be about 20 stalls, full of high quality crafts all made by local people.

Enjoy your crafting.
